Transponder Keys

Contrary to the flat metal keys which are mechanically operated with cuts on the top and bottom transponder (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) keys are equipped with an electronic microchip within their key heads. When inserted into a car that is equipped with transponder technology the chip sends an unintentional signal to a receiver located close to the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to transmit this signal, it will cause the engine to start. Transponder chips are made to guard against theft of cars and that is why the majority of modern vehicles have them.

Transponder technology was first introduced in World War II, when encoded messages were sent over radio frequencies to determine if incoming aircraft were friendly or hostile. The same concept was later used to create car keys and keys, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip key in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, they've been present on all new cars, and can also be retrofitted into older models.

If you own a vehicle with this type of security system, you should always have an extra transponder card on hand, as it only works in the event that the chip is scanned correctly. However, this isn't completely foolproof and some people have discovered methods to fool the transponder system, including kits and tutorials that explain how to bypass it with electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity Keys

Proximity keys are the most recent keyless entry technologies that are becoming popular in a variety vehicles. The key fob is carried in a pocket, or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob then communicates with the car, removing the immobiliser while allowing the engine to start.

A locksmith or dealership will have to replace it, and this could be costly. Batteries also power the fobs, which means they'll have to be replaced periodically.

Another drawback to proximity key technology is that it disrupts the cause-and-effect loop we're familiar with when it comes to physical keys. In the case of a traditional lock, it's when you press the lock and it opens, you'll know that you have the key. You must be within a specified distance to activate proximity-sensing key.

Despite these limitations the proximity keys are a fantastic option for those who wish to keep themselves from locking out of their vehicles. If you have a proximity key, you should always have a backup key on hand in the event of an emergency. Contact your local Pop-A-Lock to inquire about services and costs.

A keyless entry system operates by transmitting encrypted signals to the car's receiver. The receiver interprets the signal and unlocks or starts the engine. It also detects a driver's presence and adjust the vehicle's settings in accordance with their preferences. For instance, if a driver is carrying bags in their hands, the system will recognize this and close the doors.

Certain keyless entry systems can be vulnerable to attacks, despite being extremely secure. For instance a replay attack occurs when the initial remote control signal is recorded and repeated to the device at a later date.
